Breaking and entering is a crime,

whoever or whatever you are.

- Hey man, call the police!

Which you won't do in case

they discover your opium den

in the icebox!

I'm a doctor. I'm perfectly entitled

to keep pharmaceuticals at home.

Tell it to somebody else!

We're not talking about a Band-Aid

or a tube of unguent. How long you

been hooked? - What do you want?

Information about Johnny Liebling.

I treated a patient

of that name many years ago.

I'm not fooling around.

Either you give me some answers

or I'll call the police myself.

I've seen the works cooking upstairs,

and it ain't Mr. Salk's vaccine.

He was an entertainer

during the war, a neuro case.

No chance of recovery, so I transferred

him to a V.A. Hospital in Albany.

I hate to shake you up,

but I checked, and he's not there.

You faked the transfer.

Because he recently had a visitor,

the first in 12 years.

Popular guy, eh?

Where is he now?

- I don't know... - Come here!

I haven't seen him

since he was a patient here.

You're in a cold sweat! Look at you!

You can't wait for me to leave

so you can raid the icebox.

The sooner you get out with it,

the sooner you can shoot up.

I'll ask you again: Where is he?

I don't know.

Some people came one night years ago.

He got in the car with them and left.

He got into a car?

I thought this guy was a vegetable.

At first he was in a coma

but he quickly recovered.

But he still suffered from amnesia.

The friends.

Who were the friends?

- His name was Kelley, Edward Kelley.

The young lady I don't know.

She stayed in the car.

Where did they take him? - Down South.

The man said:
"We're taking him home."

And what was the deal?

- $25,000.

For what? - I was supposed to pretend

that he was still a patient in hospital.

Didn't the administration suspect?

- Why should they? I kept the charts

up to date. And no one asks questions

when the bills get paid.

Tell me about Johnny Liebling.

What did he look like?

- No idea. His face was damaged.

He had facial reconstruction.

He was in bandages the day he left.

What can you tell me about Kelley?

It's too long ago.

I only have a vague memory.

He was well dressed

and had a southern accent.

I truly don't remember.

- All right, Doc. Have a lie down.

I'm going out to grab a cheeseburger.

Maybe a few hours cold turkey

will refresh your memory.

Watch yourself!

We're going to take

a little nap, sit your ass down.

We're going to clear your mind.

I'm going out. When I get back,

I'll fix you some goodies

from the icebox, alright?

Tell me what I want to know

and you'll get rid of me forever.

I'm back, Doc!

I brought you a little something!

I didn't think

you'd want a cheeseburger...
